The political events of the last couple weeks have been a lot to process.
But no matter your party or candidate, it's all brought the race into sharper focus for new voters.

Vote.org is a US-based nonpartisan, non-profit that provides online voter guides for every state.
Its data show a nearly 700% increase in daily new voter registrations in the 48 hours after President Biden dropped out.
That works out to more than 38,500.
Young voters age 18 to 34 made up more than 80% of those registrations.

"I see a lot of enthusiasm, frankly, on the Republican side," says Columbiana County Republican chair Dave Johnson. He believes a unified party, a successful convention and Ohio US Senator JD Vance being tapped for VP have gone a long way.

"Within two days, we had volunteers lined up to work seven days a week to work now through the election, registering voters, encouraging people to vote early through absentee ballot voting," said Johnson.

Johnson's county has seen a steady uptick - 40 to 50 online registrations a day recently, according to election officials.
In Mercer County, there's been a "significant" uptick in online registrations. The board of elections director there chalks that up to President Biden leaving the race.

Mahoning County election officials didn't get back to us with numbers by the time our story published, but county Democratic Party chair Chris Anderson says he's seen a large groundswell of interest in the election since Kamala Harris became the de facto nominee.

"One of the biggest indicators of enthusiasm to look at is the simple sheer fact that in the past three days that she's been our presumptive nominee, she's shattered every imaginable fundraising number," Anderson said. "Last time I looked, she's raised more in three days than Donald Trump raised in the entirety of last month."

Both party leaders look for that interest to build right up to Election Day
